Gracious God, thou art the protector and _preserver of the whole creation. Thou hast fed us all our lives unto this day, with food convenient for us, though we are evil and unthankful. We pray thee forgive all our sins, by which we have forfeited all thy mercies, and let us see our forfeited right restored in Christ Jesus. Give us to taste covenant love in common mercies, and to use these and all our creature-comforts to the glory of our great Benefactor, through the grace of our great Redeemer. Amen.
